Fever Stun Mercury in Thrilling Comeback Victory

As of August 7th, 2025, the Indiana Fever are wrapping up their ongoing four-game road trip with a clash against the Phoenix Mercury. This is the second matchup between the two teams in the regular season, with the Fever emerging victorious in their previous encounter on July 30th, winning 107-101.

The Fever-Mercury game is set to tip off at 10 p.m. EST (7 p.m. PT) on Thursday, with the live broadcast available on WTHR Channel 13, Fever District, and various streaming platforms. In the first meeting between the teams, the Fever's Aari McDonald stepped up in the absence of Caitlin Clark, scoring a season-high 27 points. Aliyah Boston also contributed 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Fever.

On the Mercury side, the dynamic duo of Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Cooper put on a dominant performance, combining for 54 points on an impressive 62.5% shooting. However, the Fever's balanced scoring, with Sophie Cunningham, Chloe Bibby, and Damiris Dantas also scoring in double digits, proved to be the difference.

Heading into this matchup, the Fever appear to be comfortable without Clark, having won their previous five games before a 9-point loss to the LA Sparks on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Mercury have struggled over the past three weeks, losing five of their last eight games.

As the Fever wrap up their road trip, they will look to continue their strong form and secure another victory over the struggling Mercury squad.
